2.3 million. In October, the Border Patrol reported how many people were arrested along the border in the previous year.

Key Background

The future of Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows for the swift expulsion of asylum seekers, has been a sticking point for the Biden Administration. The White House says it is coming up with a new policy for when Title 42 stops being used for immigration control. The Supreme Court last week told the policy to stay in place until it hears arguments in February in a case involving 19 states that are requesting it stay in place.

Tangent

The state of Colorado will start a busing program for migrants who recently arrived in the state, according to the governor. Many migrants have made their way to Colorado from the border, but the state isn't their final destination, according to the governor. After Republican governors launched similar relocation programs as a form of protest against Biden's border policies, the first Democratic governor created a busing program.

The judge ended the policy used to expel migrants.
